Description
For Lease: Commercial Unit Oudegracht 169
Oudegracht 169 is an iconic corner property, strategically located at the intersection of the Oudegracht and Choorstraat. This retail space forms a vital link between the lively main shopping street, Stadhuisbrug, and Utrecht’s premium shopping district, making it an ideal location for your business.
The commercial unit comprises approximately 312 m² on the ground floor, featuring impressive ceiling heights of around 4 metres and a distinctive façade with a width of no less than 35 metres. As a result, the store is impossible to miss for passers-by. The fully glazed frontage allows abundant natural daylight to flood the space, creating an open and representative atmosphere. The shopfront windows and sliding doors will be completely renewed and given a stylish appearance that seamlessly complements the character of the listed (monumental) building.
Oudegracht 169 forms part of Magazijn De Zon. For decades, this has been a landmark location for popular retailers. The site originally housed Manufacturenzaak De Zon, which later developed into a large department store and subsequently served for many years as the home of the Public Library and Broese bookshop. From mid 2028 onwards, the upper floors of this beautifully renovated building will also accommodate the Literature Museum/Children’s Book Museum.
Asking rent: €960 per m² GFA per year, excl. VAT
Surface area: approx. 312 m² GFA
Commencement date of lease: expected March 2027
Deadline for initial bid: 5 June 2026, 10:00 a.m.
